Yes, this is the beer you've heard so much about!

Brewed with a ridiculous amount of barley, World Wide Stout is dark, roasty and complex. This Ageable Ale clocks in at 15-20% ABV and has a depth more in line with a fine port than with a can of cheap, mass-marketed beer.

World Wide debuted in the winter of 1999, and the staying power of this brew is undeniable. Like Fort and 120 Minute IPA, World Wide Stout only gets better with age (more on aging beers here). After some time in your beer cellar, the heat of the booze fades into the background and the port notes and roastiness take over.

World Wide goes great with (or as!) dessert. Share one with someone you love.

Admin Note: This entry is for standard World Wide Stout that clocks in at 15% - 20% abv.

[12oz bottle from Total Wines, Naples, FL - bottled 04/23/19 - my 8000th rating.] An opaque, glossy black pour with a ring of cream coloured head; aroma of rum, mollasses, raisins and casks; wine-like in the mouth with rich chocolate, plums, and port wine that fills the mouth; then gently settles into the belly giving warmth and a burn from the alcohol; and leaves a lingering fruity chocolate coating in the mouth. A beer to sip slowly and savour.

Bottle. Pours pitch black with a thin light brown head. Aromas of dark dried fruits, dates, fruity coffee, booze. Taste is dark dried fruits, fruity coffee, some dark chocolate, some smoke, ash, salmiak licorice.

No official label but a stamp on the bottle indicates it was bottled this year. Dark with a frothy beige head that soon dissipates. Oddly, no ABV listed on the bottle!? 16% according to a certain popular site we will not name. A bit of chocolate in the aroma. Plums. Hints of rubbing alcohol. Taste is mildly sweet with hints of chocolate, licorice, plum jam and lots of booze that’s not quite hidden. This is beyond warming. Too strong for my mellow tastes. Aging might have helped.

2007 bottle from SoLan, thanks! Almost black, opague. Intense malty aroma with licorice and chocolate. Very sweet, malty flavor with licorice, caramel, laurel and molasses. The obvious alcohol bite is almost forgotten because of the intense sugary sweetness. I have severe doubts about the balance and even the necessity of this malt beverage. But it sure tastes good!

One of my first """whales""" back in 2012. I like to think it was better back then. But yadda yadda virgin palette. Soy sauce. Malt liquor. Licorice vodka. Barrel drippings.

2016 bottle from J's shared at CB. Pours a deep brown to black with some light purple highlights and a beige-brown head. Deep cacao nib and roasted malt aromas with prune, raisin and plum as it warms. Booze is there, but surprisingly hidden well. 2 plus years of age on this bottle and it seems to be in a good place. Lots of dark fruit on the palate as well, with molasses, coffee, roasted dark malt, cacao and light tobacco as it warms. Big body and lingering dark brown sugar and cacao on the finish. Some marshmallow notes somehow as well. --- Beer merged from original tick of World Wide Stout on 02 Feb 2019 at 01:14 - Score: 8

12 ounce bottle. Number 3100! Dark brown, black color. Thin tan head barely clings to the inside of the glass. Chocolatey, boozy nose. Big chocolate notes upfront. Reminiscent of a chocolate liqueur. Incredibly rich and intense. As it warms, the complexity emerges. Notes of wood, dark toffee, dark dried fruits and Port wine come forward. Needless to say, the 18% ABV lurks like a hungry bear. It is intense and burning. Truly unique, truly Dogfish Head! Hopefully I won't have a Dogfish Headache tomorrow morning. Gonna have to dig out from Nor'easter number four!!!! Ugh!!!!
